Something Small

Every day will be a big pile of bullshit if I focus on only problems I have come across.

- That suddenly-broken-down external hard disk.
- Those never-replying and always-busy kids.
- Things that I do not enjoy but have to do.
- Things that others do not enjoy but I have to make them do.

Many many of them if I have to recount every piece of them.

But life is not the summation of every problem, they say. Or at least, that is not the meaning of life. The meaning of life is the summation of every tiny little event that makes ones happy.

- The hard disk worked again with no apparent reasons.
- The introvert kid finally dared to phone me (because I came late lol).
- The same introvert kid shared with me his experience last week.
- The patrol leader frankly and boldly told me his and his patrol's thoughts.
- Some scouts that I taught in Astronomy course still remember me and called me Fan Sir.
- One of them asked for more posts on the Astro Club Facebook page.
- Girl scout from QCOBASS feeling proud when coming across Scout and Scouter from QC.
- She shared her pride on Facebook and we became friends.
- A very big glass of iced lemon tea.
- Having meals with my family.
- Listened to George Lam in TVB.
- Having a group of enthusiastic scouters to share my frustration with.
- Still alive.

- And you. My irreplaceably lovable girlfriend.

Recollect those small things. It is always something small that build something big. And, look at them. What more can I ask for?
